Biology

To me, research and teaching are variations on the same theme: educating students. I view my research with students as an extension of the classroom. More student research means more opportunity to provide a better educational experience.

Exercise Science

I’ve enjoyed all the exercise science courses I’ve taken especially because of how hands-on the labs are that you really get to engage in the subject. I am pursuing dentistry as a career and while it’s a unique path to take with this major, I have a wide scope of knowledge in exercise science that sets me apart from other students. I have learned so much about exercise and health and this all very much relates to your oral health!

Benny Faccone, a 15-time Grammy-winning engineer, is hands-down my favorite teacher. He has a ton of experience and knowledge, and he makes the work that we do applicable in the real world, which is a must-have in music production.
